Crystal Palace vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction
Crystal Palace are very much in the ascendency in this UEFA Conference League semi-final tie against Shakhtar Donetsk, having won 1-3 in the first leg last week in Poland, and they will fancy themselves to finish the job at Selhurst Park and reach what would be an historic European final for the club.
Palace star Ismaila Sarr continued his strong goalscoring form in the competition by scoring the fastest Conference League goal in history last week, netting after just 21 seconds, while Daichi Kamada and Jorgen Strand Larsen struck in the second half after Shakhtar had equalised just after the break.
The Seagulls delivered a laboured performance in a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday, but their attention was very much on this tie. Shakhtar, meanwhile, won their fourth straight domestic contest on the same day.
Palace simply boast more attacking talent than the visitors, and that is likely to tell once again at Selhurst Park.
